Kong Oval Carabiner

Oval carabiners are designed for symmetry, which makes them ideal for use with pulleys, ascenders, or when you need to keep gear centered. They prevent equipment from shifting or rotating under load, providing a more stable connection than asymmetrical shapes.

The keylock nose eliminates the small hook found on traditional carabiners, which often snags on slings, ropes, or bolt hangers. This design ensures a smooth, snag-free clipping and unclipping experience, especially when you are working quickly.

While this aluminum oval is excellent for climbing and general rigging, it is lightweight by design. Always check the specific breaking strength ratings against your intended load requirements to ensure it meets the safety margins for your particular application.

The circular cross-section provides a consistent surface area, which is particularly helpful when using the carabiner with textile gear like ropes or webbing. It allows for smoother movement and reduces friction compared to I-beam or flat-profile carabiners.

Yes, every individual carabiner is tested before leaving the factory in Italy. This rigorous quality control process ensures that each piece meets the necessary safety standards for reliability in the field.
